* [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]: Amazon's blades, on the forearms of his gloves. They're very sharp, and more to the point, he's strong enough to do the cutting. Before he learned how to do a proper Rider Kick, Amazon's finisher was the Daisetsudan ("Great Cleave") which was responsible for the [[High-Pressure Blood]] below.

** SPIRITS takes this to new levels - he can easily cut arms in two (right down the middle), and that picture up at the top? That's Salamander/Tokage-Roid learning the hard way that Amazon can {{spoiler|cut heads in two as well.}} His Super Daisetsudan (available when Amazon combines the Gaga<ref>We're not going to make that comparison.</ref> Armlet with the Gigi Armlet on his right arm for extra power) can cleave something the size of a ''T-Rex''.

* [[Badass Biker]]: Subverted at first. Amazon was very reluctant to ride a motorcycle (his first exposure to them was a motorcross race, and they're rather loud besides), so it took a lot of convincing by Tachibana (and the [[Cool Bike|Jungler]]).

* [[Batman Gambit]]: He may be a [[Hulk Speak|Hulk Speaking]] [[Wild Child]], but don't confuse that for stupidity. He once used a complicated plan based on his knowledge of all involved, depending on everyone acting precisely as they did, ''including'' getting the villains to think that ''they'' were the ones who knew ''his'' plans and were gambitting ''him.'' Yes, Amazon pulled off an [[I Know You Know I Know]], ''level three or four!''

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Amazon may be the most violent Rider, but his rage is restrained to actual bad guys. He's a [[Friend to All Living Things]] besides, and when misunderstanding humans begin attacking him, he will always flee rather than harm them. There's really no reason to fear him if you're not a monster trying to harm innocents. If you ''are,'' though, there ''will'' be [[High Pressure Blood]], eye-gouging, limbs severed via teeth, and so forth.

* [[The Berserker]]: Amazon's preferred fighting style, at least in human form. His Rider form is ''somewhat'' more refined...

** Daisuke is pretty much a straight-up [[The Berserker|Berserker]], although Amazon seems to combine it with bits of [[Confusion Fu]].

* [[Eccentric Mentor]]: Tobei Tachibana, even gives Amazon his trademark bike the Jungler.

* [[Heel Face Turn]]/[[Mook Face Turn]] - the Mole Beastman.

* [[Finishing Move]]: At first he didn't have one; it was just hack and slash until the [[Monster of the Week]] stopped moving. Eventually came his trademark Great Slice, a dramatic leap-and-slash move that results in [[High Pressure Blood]] and a dramatic fall (but still no 'boom,' the monster was just left in its own juices.) Last and least-used was the Amazon Kick, your standard Rider Kick ending in your standard [[Toku]] monster kaboom. The Super Great Slice is the Great Slice when he's got {{spoiler|both armlets, as seen once in Amazon and once in Decade}}. It's no different visually, but presumably its victims were tough enough to require it as opposed to lesser attacks.

* [[Fish Out of Water]]: Yep!

* [[Friend to All Children]]: Amazon himself being a [[Wild Child]], this is no surprise. And [[Kamen Rider X|GOD]] (yes, the organization; yes, the ''whole'' organization) help you if [[Berserk Button|you bring harm to one he knows personally.]]

Line 33:

* [[Henshin Hero]]: Although unlike the other Riders, his body is mystically augmented rather than mechanically - Amazon is actually ''biological'', compared to his technological Rider brethren. (This brings up an interesting point about the word "Kaizou-Ningen", usually translated as "Cyborg" in English. "Kaizou" means to modify, in the sense of remodeling and improvement, and does not necessarily indicate doing so with artificial enhancements. Thus Amazon is in fact a "Kaizou-Ningen" like the other Riders, just not in a way that translates smoothly.)

* [[Hero With Bad Publicity]]: Whenever bad things happen, the actual villains pull a [[Villain Exit Stage Left]], and a wild, scantily-clad [[Hulk Speak|Hulk Speaker]] is the only person remaining at the scene, it sometimes doesn't go well for our hero. His good name is usually restored by the end of the episode... ''for the time being.''

* [[High Pressure Blood]]: Most monsters end up cut open by Amazon and it normally results in a massive amount of blood spurting from their wounds.

* [[High-Pressure Blood]]: Most monsters end up cut open by Amazon and it normally results in a massive amount of blood spurting from their wounds.

* [[Hulk Speak]]: For the first dozen episodes or so before he gradually learns Japanese. This led to much communication problems during certain episodes.

* [[Image Song]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILnnaucf48Q I Am Tobe Tachibana]

Line 46:

* [[People Puppets]] - After eating a person alive, the Snake Beastman somehow uses their body to move about/manipulate humans as one of them.

* [[Raised By Natives]]

* [[Theme Music Power Up]]

* [[Theme Music Power-Up]]

* [[The Mole]]: The [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Mole]] Beastman, though he is [[Inverted Trope|on Amazon's side]].

* [[Transformation Trauma]]: The first KR series to invoke this.
